    Chamber length gauge

    Yeah. The purpose is to determine what the maximum cartridge length is in order to fit the chamber, before having to trim. For the low cost, I believe that it's worth knowing. Might save a trim operation here or there.

    Chamber length gauge

    I think the OP is looking for a chamber length guage, like the one made by Sinclair. Their decription is that they are designed so the handloader can determine the true length of his rifle's chamber when measuring from the bolt face to the end of the chamber's neck.

    Chamber length gauge

    I just added some more to my cart such as cleaning patches, brushes, ammo boxes, etc. to justify the shipping cost. There's no one else that sells these to my knowledge except Sinclair (Brownells).

    You like your truck camper shell for Hunting?

    I love mine. Not exactly a shell though.

    Looking for some new recipes

    Look at AR-Comp for your .223. Very temperature stable, and should produce higher velocity than Varget with similar accuracy. I just bought 8-lb so I know it's available.

    5.56 / AR Load Development

    It's an Aimpoint Comp-M3 with 2 moa dot, although I can dial it down to a very small (lessor sized) dot. Thanks for the input. I can see how aiming for the center of a noticeable "cross" or large bulls-eye is much better than the perceived center of white piece of paper.

    5.56 / AR Load Development

    Thanks. Lyman lists 23.0 grain as max. I didn't see pressure signs until 23.4 gr. I settled on 22.8 grains going forward.

    5.56 / AR Load Development

    I just completed load development with .223/5.56 77 SMK and AR-Comp a week ago using my 14.5" AR-15 with a Aimpoint red dot sight. I highly recommend a chronograph to compare to a known load like MK 262 Mod 1 while going up the ladder. After reaching pressure signs, I backed down about 0.6...

    Pic rail with minimum hole spacing- Spartan?

    Several manufacturers make a rail similar to the one shown below from Evolution Bipod which will allow you to use the existing threaded holes in your stock. They accept sling swivels too, without the large protrusion on the one your showing.

    Do Newly Proposed State Bans on Gas Actuated Firearms have any Legs?

    I understand the concept of states right's and jurisdiction vs. federal law, but . . what does mary jane have to do with this?

    Do Newly Proposed State Bans on Gas Actuated Firearms have any Legs?

    I tried to search the wide-web but couldn't find a definitive answer. Have any states effectively enacted state laws to prohibit gas actuated firearms? What is the probability that any state law like this will be overturned by US Supreme Court? I see that several states have house bills...

    Headspace on New Tikka T3x 6.5CM: Go Gauge will not Fit

    I cleaned the new un-fired rifle with a chamber brush and the barrel with patches upon receipt. I used a light coat of Hoppe's on the chamber and light amount of CLP on the bore. Everything indicated that they indeed test fired a few rounds, as patches came out with a small amount out fouling.

    Headspace on New Tikka T3x 6.5CM: Go Gauge will not Fit

    Good point. I should have thought of that just to have another point of reference. Thanks.

    Headspace on New Tikka T3x 6.5CM: Go Gauge will not Fit

    Yes. I'm using a Hornady comparator for my measurements. The reloads were with new Starline brass, and all I did was neck size prior to loading. Before I send the gun for repair, I'm going to see if I can bump the shoulder back on a couple pieces of the once fired brass to see if the die will...

    Headspace on New Tikka T3x 6.5CM: Go Gauge will not Fit

    I purchased a new Tikka T3x SuperVarmint chambered in 6.5CM in December and have noticed issues with closing the bolt and opening the bolt on factory and reloaded ammo. In fact, it appears to me that the shoulder in the chamber is cut almost .005" too short. I contacted Beretta USA yesterday...

    Surround sound for the house

    At a minimum, you should have a center speaker, and two front (right and left) speakers. This is easier to incorporate into a large open room and should work pretty well. A complete surround system will include a subwoofer, side speakers and rear speakers. You shouldn't need that level of...

    Misalliance corp, ligit ?

    Yes. They are legitimate, and I have read good reviews for them. I recently ordered 8 lb of powder from them, and it arrived quickly without issues.

    Driving Snowy Environment

    Don't drive faster than the conditions. But I hope to believe that I understand the conditions and the vehicle that I am driving. As I said, I believe that limited slip is good on the highway, if venturing offroad into unknown upstream conditions, than one should be prepared with front and...
